HelpDavremil, Daremil, and Dachenvor
Looking at the above names, I wanted to know if any of you associated these names (which are mostly my invention) with any words of other names that would not be desireable for writing a book about! So if there are any negative connotations, please tell me & I'd be really grateful! Thanks.

Davremil - Davros, the villian in Doctor Who (BBC scifi)
Dachenvor - would bug me in a book because I'm not sure how it's intended to be pronounced: DAKH-en-vawr? Dah-KHEN-vawr? DATCH-en-vawr? Datch-EN-vawr?
Daremil - same trouble because could be dair-mill, or dahr-eh-mill, or dair-eh-mill. Reminds a tad of Darrell.
Any of them are decent as inventions for non-realistic fiction, though.

? What sort of a book are you writing? Is it a fantasy novel? A horror novel? A historical novel? A nonfiction advice book with psuedonyms in the case studies? Until one knows what sort of characters these names are referring to, how can we know whether or not they have appropriate connotations for us?
Dachenvor might remind some people of the World War II concentration camp Dachau:
